I do think Dillon may have misinterpreted the ides behind this thread, for one thing it wasn't started to raise any funds. It was to show that all members of the community are against acts of terrorism, or at least the vast majority.

This isn't about race, creed or religion, but about people standing up and being counted. We must remember that all Muslims aren't Asian, like Dillon said there is a vast number of religions on that continent, just like every other. One of the bombers was Afro-Caribean and had a white wife. There were Muslim fatalies as well in the other weeks attacks.

I still have reservations about wearing your heart on your sleeves, but l will support and applaud your efforts for hopefully getting this off the ground. Could you not involve local Mosques? With backing from local Muslims l think it would add to the weight of what you are attempting to do.

With Gayle on side, l think you need to use her skills to raise as much public awareness of what the ribbons/wristband means, otherwise it may not be understood for what it is, ie: a visual anti terrorism campaign.

Good luck. Like l said l will not be wearing one, but applaud those that may choose too.
